Knowing FOX, I would entirely expect that they’re setting up Amell and Ambrose to replace David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, should this revival of The X-Files prove to be a hit. I think that’d be a terrible idea, personally, but I can see the logic in keeping The X-Files franchise going, even if Duchovny and Anderson want out after the six-episode revival. I guess it all depends on the execution. Both actors are certainly talented enough to make this work.

The X-Files revival premieres on Sunday, Jan. 24 on FOX.

But what do you think of Amell and Ambrose joining the cast? Sound off in the comments!
